Is that a coded message which means; You are collecting a fat Socialist pension as well, Just like the 3 named... Isn't Socialism marvellous for you guys, free medical, free bus, free free free, even free beer and pokie money, thanks to us poor suffering tax payers, all to waste down at gods waiting room every fortnight!

A self funded retiree,
Paul1405,
Haha, very funny. Writing off the pettiest of petty expenses & getting your Super contributions boosted by the Taxpayers i.e. paying as little Tax as possible etc.?
From what I have witnessed, self funded retirees are generally pretty hefty parasites, particularly those with rental properties !

Ya gotta laugh.

This is interesting...

In the book Atlas Shrugged Henry Rearden receives his taxes back in the form of a gold bar from Ragnar Danneskjöld.

Ragnar Danneskjöld

One of Galt's first followers, and world-famous as a pirate, who seizes relief ships sent from the United States to the People's States of Europe. He works to ensure that once those espousing Galt's philosophy are restored to their rightful place in society, they have enough capital to rebuild the world. Kept in the background for much of the book, Danneskjöld makes a personal appearance to encourage Rearden to persevere in his increasingly difficult situation, and gives him a bar of gold as compensation for the income taxes he has paid over the last several years. Danneskjöld is married to the actress Kay Ludlow; their relationship is kept hidden from the outside world, which only knows of Ludlow as a retired film star. Considered a misfit by Galt's other adherents, he views his actions as a means to speed the world along in understanding Galt's perspective.

Henry "Hank" Rearden

Henry (known as "Hank") Rearden is one of the central characters in Atlas Shrugged. He owns the most important steel company in the United States, and invents Rearden Metal, an alloy stronger, lighter, cheaper and tougher than steel. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife Lillian, his brother Philip, and his elderly mother. Rearden represents a type of self-made man and eventually divorces Lillian, abandons his steel mills following a bloody assault by government-planted workers, and joins John Galt's strike.
